Abstract

Standby power is progressively important in the developed countries including Korea. The status of standby power of korean home electronic wares has been unknown. In this paper, standby power consumption of home electronics in Korea has been firstly surveyed and reported. Over 800 pieces of electrical equipments that consume standby power in 53 households were investigated. The average standby power per equipment and total standby power per household were 3.66W and 57.0W, respectively. It was revealed that Audio systems and network appliances such as xDSL modem, set-top box generally consume high standby power.
